Huawei Honor 6 Plus

“Huawei-offshoot Honor's first widely available smartphone has impressed me on numerous occasions over the past few weeks. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to someone who was looking for a well specced phablet for a fair price. If you've got the pockets for the 5.5-inch screen you'll reap the rewards, whether it's watching videos or replying to emails. Once you're used to it, it's hard going back to a smaller device. It's also hard going back to a phone you have to charge nightly. The camera isn't going to match the Android top guns, but it's perfectly acceptable and it's nice to see Huawei experimenting with the triple threat of 8MP snappers.”

“Fixating on the word ‘honor’ seems to imply simplicity. And if nothing else, the Honor 6 Plus succeeds at bringing the essentials in a simplistically elegant design. On its aesthetic and performance, you can mostly justify the price point. But claims about the camera were the focus – no pun intended – and the dual camera setup proves to be more of a gimmick than a game changer. A dual camera setup is nothing new at this point, and while the so-called ‘wide aperture’ mode is functional and arguably useful, the camera does nothing else to differentiate itself from the competition. The Honor 6 Plus lays in the cut, providing the Huawei flavor of what we may otherwise already expect from high end devices. If there were more compelling features like the fingerprint scanner and battery life of the Ascend Mate 7, the sum of its parts might make this a standout winner. But instead, what we have is another admittedly great entry point into the high end market, where there happens to be quite a few filling that space already.”

“For anyone looking for a smartphone with a large screen, the Honor 6 Plus is absolutely worth considering. It has great specs, a good-looking and sleek design and a cool camera, all at a surprisingly low price.”

“We had a lot of fun using the Honor 6 Plus and peg it to be one of the better Android phones we've reviewed in the recent past. The exceptional performance of its dual rear cameras is an added advantage since not many Android phones in the same price range can achieve that.Having said that, the price tag of Rs. 26,499 puts it in an interesting spot because the Samsung Galaxy S5 has gone through multiple price revisions and at around Rs. 27,000 it is a real bargain. Also, the Nokia Lumia 830 in the same price range will tempt camera lovers. We'd recommend the Honor 6 Plus to anyone who wants a phablet that can capture good photographs.”
